Jeep’s Amended TPMS Recall Lists 526 PHEVs Among 201,975 Vehicles

Correction — November 2, 2026: Our original September 9 headline, opening and model breakdown gave 201,976 vehicles and 527 listed plug-in hybrids, based on FCA US's genuine September 1 federal recall filing. FCA filed an amended report on September 24 for the same campaign, revising those figures to 201,975 total vehicles and 526 explicitly listed Grand Cherokee PHEVs. The amendment no longer separately lists the single Grand Wagoneer L PHEV row that appeared in the original report. We have updated the headline and article to reflect the later filing. The earlier figures were the manufacturer's original submitted figures, not the currently examined amended scope.¹²

FCA US's September 24 amendment to its U.S. tire-pressure-monitoring recall lists 201,975 potentially affected vehicles across multiple Jeep models and powertrains. Of these, 526 are specifically identified as 2024–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrids. The total is not a count of electric or plug-in-hybrid vehicles.²

The distinction matters for owners who encountered the original larger figures. Both reports concern NHTSA campaign 26V559, identified by FCA as 54D; the change is to the manufacturer's reported population and model breakdown, not the announcement of a separate recall.¹²

What changed between the two filings?

Manufacturer-submitted report	Total potentially involved vehicles	Explicitly identified PHEV population
September 1, 2026 — initial filing	201,976	526 Grand Cherokee PHEVs, plus one Grand Wagoneer L PHEV: 527 total 1
September 24, 2026 — amended filing	201,975	526 Grand Cherokee PHEVs; no separate Grand Wagoneer L PHEV row in the amended model list 2

The amended filing's explicitly named PHEV subset is about 0.26% of its mixed-powertrain total (526 ÷ 201,975, rounded). The amendment contains eight model entries, compared with nine in the original. The absence of a separate Grand Wagoneer L PHEV row is a statement about these two filings, not a guarantee that any particular Grand Wagoneer VIN is free of this campaign or other open recalls.¹²

What FCA says the software issue does

FCA's amended Part 573 report describes Radio Frequency Hub software that can cause the tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to lose function, potentially preventing it from accurately detecting low tire pressure or displaying the warning light.² FCA identifies the condition as a noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, the tire-pressure-monitoring standard.²

FCA says a TPMS that fails to warn the driver when pressure falls outside recommended limits can create a crash risk without prior warning. That is the manufacturer's risk assessment, not evidence that this campaign caused a crash or injury. The filing does not establish an incident count.²

FCA's recall remedy remains a dealer reprogramming of the Radio Frequency Hub with updated software.¹² The original September filing planned phased owner notifications between September 29 and October 21; that historical schedule does not establish when any particular owner received a notice or completed a repair.¹

How owners can check their Jeep

A model-year range or campaign-wide count does not establish an individual vehicle's recall status. Owners can use NHTSA's recall lookup with a VIN or license plate to check for unrepaired recalls and confirm the vehicle-specific record. The campaign identifiers are NHTSA 26V559 / FCA 54D.³²

The September 24 amended Part 573 is the later version examined for this November 2 correction. A future amendment, VIN status change or completed remedy could alter an individual owner's current answer; the manufacturer's filing totals should not substitute for a current VIN lookup.
